Celebrate Giving Tuesday with Occoneechee Council
Make a difference for Scouts this holiday season
The holiday season is a time of giving, reflection, and gratitude. As the air fills with festive cheer, Giving Tuesday invites us all to pause and make a meaningful impact. Falling on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, this global day of generosity inspires individuals and organizations to give back to their communities in impactful ways.
For the Occoneechee Council, Giving Tuesday is more than a date on the calendar—it’s an opportunity to invest in the future of young leaders.
Why Scouting Matters
Scouting changes lives. Through adventures, skill-building, and community service, Scouts learn the values of integrity, leadership, and compassion. These lessons don’t just shape Scouts; they ripple out to families, neighborhoods, and beyond. By supporting Scouting, you’re empowering the next generation of changemakers.
Your Support Makes It Possible
Did you know the true cost of delivering the Scouting program exceeds the fees paid by families? Programs like leadership development, outdoor education, and community service projects require resources to thrive. The Occoneechee Council relies on the generosity of supporters like you to bridge that gap and ensure Scouting is accessible to all youth.
Ways to Give on Giving Tuesday
- Make a Donation: Every dollar you give supports local Scouts in their journey to becoming future leaders. Even a small contribution can provide essential tools like camping gear, merit badge materials, or leadership training.
- Volunteer Your Time: Scouting is powered by dedicated volunteers. From mentoring a troop to assisting at events, your time is a priceless gift.
- Spread the Word: Share why you support Scouting on social media with the hashtag #GivingTuesday. Inspire others to join the movement!
